This document provides guidance and, where appropriate, defines procedures for variations of certain parameters and factors associated with the design of lightweight partitions which have been tested in accordance with EN 1364-1, and classified according to EN 13501-2.

This document only applies to non-loadbearing lightweight partitions with a single steel framework, provided at both sides with a lining. The lightweight partition can be insulated or not with a mineral wool insulation.

This document does not apply to any other types of non-loadbearing walls considered in EN 1364-1.

This International Standard, used in conjunction with ISO 834-1, specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of door and shutter assemblies designed primarily for installation within openings incorporated in vertical separating elements, such as

  -hinged and pivoted doors,

  -horizontally sliding and vertically sliding doors, including articulated sliding doors and sectional doors,

  -steel single-skin folding shutters (un-insulated),

  -other sliding, folding doors,

  -tilting doors,

  -rolling shutter doors,

  -removable panels in walls.

  -Self-closing openable windows

Requirements are included for mechanical pre-conditioning, e.g. "cycling"of door and shutter assemblies prior to the conduct of the fire-resistance test.
